Modern Reef Aquariums

:bigeyes::bigeyes: WOW!!! :bigeyes::bigeyes:

Your stand is beyond impressive. It's definitely the nicest stand that I've ever seen.

Is it made with wood with an acrylic or veneer, or is it just a very high-gloss paint? Can you tell us more about it? I'm absolutely in love with it. I hope you have a tank or build thread going. I'm not sure you should even put anything in it. It's hard for me to imagine that it could get any better looking, lol. It truly is a piece of art.

This is a high quality render of a 3d drawing
 
Here is my newly setup 70g at the office!

Wow. That cube is beautiful Jim! Nice job

Sea turtle designs- these are the nicest stand designs I have ever seen. If you were making these I would buy one in a second.
I will be using them as inspiration for my new build!!

@reef or die... thanks man! yes i am making those. well... if someone orders them.:lol2:

@pink spider... glad you chose the right. and if i may suggest, color the frame of the base black so it would somehow give the illusion that the stand is levitating.:) how do the cab door/s open btw?

I was thinking about painting the base in purple. But yeah, maybe black or charcoal grey could be cool too... I'll test that in the next 3D render.

There's no doors, the sump's gonna stay in the basement in the end.
 
Compared to some here this looks like a betta bowl but I was going for a modern feel.
